I also want to highlight the amazing undergraduate co-authors that collected most of these data - we have the best students @MarquetteU especially in @MUArtsSciences!

Overall, this work shows that physical interactions are critical for initiating the fanning response in honey bees. We are still working on what exactly they are doing when they are interacting, but we are excited about where this work will take us!

🐝🐝🐝 I am excited to share more research from my lab @MarquetteU! This work, lead by PhD student Casey Lambert, identifies how #honeybees use physical interactions to coordinate collective behavior, published in @BehavEcol. Let me tell you about it... academic.oup.com/beheco/advan...

You don't often see the wings of a Devil's Coach Horse, but I think this one must have blundered into a spider's web. See how it puts its wings away, folding them into the tiny space under the elytra by doing some serious abdominal writhing.

So fun to share how weird and cool #honeybees are!

Our recently published work in @royalsociety was featured on @SpectrumNews1WI! Thanks @PBoudreauxNewsfor a great story featuring @jlotusnguyen's work on how antibiotics disrupt the collective cooling in honey bee colonies in my research lab @MarquetteUin @MU_BISC

The lindens are flowering and the juneberries are ripe - it’s a great time to be on campus to enjoy the smells and tastes summer has to offer @MarquetteU #summerresearch

As a fun moment to break up the research day, we spent lunch in the beautiful gardens and #prairie on campus @MarquetteU to learn about the #pollinators and other #insects that use the space as food and refuge. Thanks to @ecokatsully @MilwaukeeMuseum for co-organizing with us!

Thank you @MUArtsSciences @MarquetteU for the support and for promoting this work! today.marquette.edu/2025/04/marque…
